Isolated volar displaced fracture of the ulnar condyle at the base of the index metacarpal: a case report.
A case involving a displaced fracture of the ulnar condyle at the base of the second metacarpal without concomitant dislocation of the second carpometacarpal joint is described. It seems probable that the fracture was produced by simultaneous volar subluxation of the base of the third metacarpal that reduced spontaneously. Open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture with Kirschner wires achieved satisfactory results.
